Detroit, the showcase of liberal governance where fire stations use soda cans as warning devices
Coach is Right ^ | 9/6/14 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

The argument against liberals ever being in charge of our lives can be reduced to a single word: Detroit.

Detroit has fallen from its position as one of the greatest cities in America at the beginning of the 1950s to a perfect reminder of what liberal Democrats will do when given enough power and enough time to show who they really are.

“The Motor City” had an unbroken succession of liberal Democrat mayors for more than 40 years and each of these men has contributed to the steady decline of their city. Acting in concert with greedy unions these mayors first turned Detroit into their private kingdom, and then looted its treasury for every cent they could.

In the 1970s and through until 1993 when he finally left office, Detroit’s first Black Mayor, Coleman Young polluted the city’s government. It was fair to say that from the Police Department to the School Board to the Sanitation Department, every one of Detroit’s agencies was corrupt. Yet Coleman Young was just the beginning.

In 2001 when Kwame Kilpatrick became mayor the decline of Detroit progressed at warp speed. He was just as corrupt in his personal as his political life, being a thief and very possibly a murderer. By the time he left office for his new home in a federal prison, Detroit had fallen into such disrepair that reclamation was impossible.

OBAMA PLANS TO RAZE FLINT, “RELOCATE” ITS ROBOTIC DEMOCRAT SHOCK TROOPS TO FLIP EXURB GOP DISTRICTS
By Kevin “Coach” Collins

The headline says, “US cities may have to be bulldozed in order to survive.” For whose survival?

Obama’s plan to teardown big city slums like Flint and Detroit is just a trick to move Black Democrats to areas where their votes will swing more Congressional seats to the socialists. He couldn’t care less about the poor Blacks in these cities; they’re only votes to him.

Obama wants to build government housing in the suburbs and move thousands of his Black voters into these new government gulags where their votes will count more. He sees no value in 90% plus Democrat victories in Flint and Detroit when he could move thousands of those votes into nearby Republican held districts in Brighton and Livonia and win them as well.

He will do this and of course we’ll pay for his scheme.

Obama won’t have to raze suburban homes to do this. He will rely on “White Flight” to clear out the last stubborn pockets of conservatives and let ACORN’s urban shock troops do the rest to flip surrounding Republican Congressional seats one by one………………………………………….”
